Apparently just eating an enormous amount of tuna + picked up the worm larva from some undercooked pork!
- Comment on R.F.K. Jr. Says Doctors Found a Dead Worm in His Brain 1 week ago:
Ah so, it is revealed in the article that while he believes his brain was eaten by a worm, he came to that conclusion while mercury-poisoned (unrelated) and it is most likely not accurate. The brain surrounded the worm with tissue to try and isolate it and the result is similar to having a brain tumor (as I read it, sry if summary is somewhat inaccurate)

So what you gotta do is say “it” in this sentence like you would say the word “ass”, and suddenly it all snaps into focus

The actual punchline here should have been “there is no known equation to calculate the exact perimeter of an ellipse”, then sucking tears from an astrophysicist
- Comment on What can I do daily to improve my on-the-spot cognitive abilities? 2 months ago:
I think you basically just need experience/practice. Imagine lifeguarding: they don’t just explain it to you and then hope you remember what to do the first time you see someone you think might be drowning. They train you and have you ‘rescue’ people in a controlled environment, so that when the real thing happens, you’re performing something you’ve done many times.
To put it another way, you don’t want to think faster. You want to have already thought about it, and already prepared for what to do.
Depending on the extent of what you want to do, maybe a few friends and you can try to rehearse your response. Have them simulate (without telling you exactly when) some of the signs of a seizure, then try to identify it and give their phone a call as if you were calling emergency services.
If you want to go further you can look into various first aid certs. Most classes are like $20-60, and they’ll be able to prepare you far better than anything else.
For context: Not the same thing exactly but I had to get first aid certifications in the context of bringing small groups of people into semi-remote areas of nature. Type of thing where you probably have cell service but it may take hours for help to arrive. We did a lot of practice on each other.

I do use it. I press it with my right pinky when I want to capitalize letters that I type with my left hand, which is a convention of touch-typing
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid? 4 months ago:
So, sure, you may not currently know the procedure. But you could easily boil an egg if you had 60s to google it first.
Some people wouldn’t be able to figure it out. Stupidity isn’t really accurate though in my experience, I think it’s more being overwhelmed and sometimes just having an aversion in general to change and learning. People can often have really bad experiences early in life (ironically, at the hands of people like OP who categorize them as morons for their honest ignorance) that set them up to want to never leave their comfort zone, which is itself again seen as “stupid” by the same people, thus perpetuating the cycle forever.
- Comment on The fashion industry is still pushing crazy thin body images 5 months ago:
What’s the calorie need differential between an ectomorph and an endomorph?
None. Somatotypes are a pseudoscience and have been completely debunked.
What role does hormone and thyroid play?
The difference between the “fastest” and “slowest” metabolism in healthy people of the same weight is at most 300kcal per day, which is significant, but couldn’t account for a missing ~3k surplus per day
There are however several conditions which cause the body to simply not to process food (malabsorption is the term to look up), which is what must have been happening to you.
It’s very common for people to misestimate their calories by massive amounts, which is why people are expressing doubts, but what you’re describing is a real thing that happens
- Comment on Final Fantasy XVI Is Getting Two DLCs And One Of Them Is Available Now 5 months ago:
The game itself is also a ps5 exclusive currently I believe, with plans to eventually come to other platforms. So maybe just some weird technical disclaimer?
- Comment on Graphically updating the decade-old MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV 5 months ago:
Well I’ll be darned, they are different.
I found the original keynote from the event, relevant slide is toward the bottom
It’s all a bit tangled up now, but the second set of pictures in the article shows the current in-game models and then the remade models, where you can clearly see the difference in the hair. The first set (the one in question here) shows the remade one, and then the remade-remade one with the muted horn texture.
I remembered this particular Au Ra from the slideshow about 4 months ago, so when I noticed the distinct hair being the same in both and found the original slides I tunnel visioned on that. But in truth, what we are seeing is a second pass after player feedback from the event I incorrectly believed the shots were from.
I apologize for not being as in-tune with the game’s news as I had assumed. I do not play an Au Ra myself so I had been kind of tuning out the drama around the scales and their luster. But it (and the changing of the glowing eye rings) has been an ongoing pain point for many. People get really attached to their look
- Comment on Graphically updating the decade-old MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV 5 months ago:
Ah, I do see what you mean upon closer inspection. You have a keen eye
However, this is most likely due to the author grabbing the two images from a different source which subjected them to different compression artifacts. They definitely both are the same model, even if the actual image files are not 1:1
I play the game and have followed these updates as they came out, so I was able to tell very quickly from looking at the hair and eyes. But don’t take my word for it: I quickly tracked down the actual before/after shots. Sorry for reddit link
- Comment on Graphically updating the decade-old MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV 5 months ago:
That’s because it actually is the exact same image
Whoever wrote this article messed up and pasted the same image twice for the Au Ra race, which is the first one shown here. The actual before and after shots are pretty obvious

- Comment on Is jogging on sidewalks harder on joints than if one jogged on dirt? 5 months ago:
Beach jogging is actually pretty bad in the long term, as one leg is always going to be uphill compared to the other. Leads to injury. Same thing happens if you run on the side of a crowned road instead of on a flat sidewalk

- Comment on I would like to enjoy Zelda BOTW but … 7 months ago:
Well, it kind of is, but in a roundabout way.
It doubles in strength and I think is unbreakable inside the final dungeon and possibly against guardians as well. Can tell for sure because it starts glowing
- Comment on I would like to enjoy Zelda BOTW but … 7 months ago:
The weapons breaking and stuff is whatever, eventually you just tune it out. They shower you with new stuff constantly, so the idea is to use a little of everything. No comment on whether that’s a good or bad thing, it’s probably the most divisive part of the game. Just is what it is.
You do get permanent loot in the form of clothing (which can have interesting special properties) and powers and such

It seems to have improved significantly in the last few weeks, I haven’t had any issues on my world account. Seems a bit faster lately as well
- Comment on Unity adding a fee for devs for each time a game is installed, after certain thresholds 8 months ago:
Is that really how it works? That seems like a pretty egregious oversight if so, couldn’t groups of people bankrupt devs, especially small ones with small file size games that are easy to reinstall over and over?

- Comment on Sabotage Studio initially projected sales of 250,000 copies of Sea of Stars in the first year. They hit that target within just a week. 8 months ago:
I agree, I’m glad games like this (and baldur’s gate!) are enjoying so much success and attention right now. It’s better for everyone if we have a variety of polished experiences in different genres.
That being said I don’t often find myself enjoying turn based games lol. Even going back to the super nintendo, I massively preferred Secret of Mana (with it’s real time combat system) to Final Fantasy. There’s just something extremely satisfying to me about a well done action-oriented RPG, where you feel like your skills are improving alongside your character’s.
“Well done” is not to be overlooked, of course. I was quite disappointed with final fantasy 16, as it truly did just feel like mashing buttons
